Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket City 2 at 4.6 against Sys Admin Sim's 4.0. Pocket City 2 also leads on ratings volume (800 vs 1) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Sys Admin Sim's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pocket City 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket City 2 has 800 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Pocket City 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sys Admin Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
